Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Three days had passed.
A new day had arrived.
On this day, the sky was as blue as an upside-down deep sea.
Zhou Airen and Daoist Wu were quietly playing chess in the courtyard.
Jin Mulan stood by the side, but she was not in the mood to watch the game.
After all, three days had passed, and there was not the slightest movement on Mount Hua, which made her a little worried.
“Mulan, relax. That chess match was set up by Jiang Liu’er and the Chess Ghost King. As the two most accomplished players in the history of chess, no one has been able to crack that chess match for a thousand years…”
Daoist Wu played the game as he slowly said, “So, when he gives up, he will come down the mountain.”
Jin Mulan’s beautiful eyes flickered.
She knew what kind of chess match Lu Tianyu was facing.
Therefore, like Elder Zhou and Elder Wu, she didn’t really believe that Lu Tianyu could solve this chess game.
Jin Mulan couldn’t help but sigh.
However, at this moment.
Two beams of mystic light suddenly shot up from the peak of Mount Hua.
It was earth-shattering.
The three of them looked up.
The two beams of mystic light had already turned into two terrifying human figures.
In front of this human figure was a huge chessboard.
One of them placed his stone, causing the Heavens and Earth to shake.
The other person placed his stone, causing tens of thousands of mad demons to shake the Heavens.
“Great Harmony Between Heaven and Earth!” the white-robed figure said with determination.
“Ghost Chess Fixed Form!” The black-robed figure’s eyes were filled with determination.
The clouds in the sky changed.
The two of them each held a piece of chess, as if they were holding a piece of Heaven and Earth. It was solemn and dignified.
Zhou Airen and Daoist Wu’s pupils immediately contracted.
“Holy shit!”
“It’s broken!”
“He’s broken it!”
The two of them cried out in surprise.
Then.
Silence.
Shock.
Chaos.
Not long after.
A figure in white walked down from Mount Hua like an immortal.
The mountain wind blew, making his white robe flutter.
Lu Tianyu had a smile on his face. He walked up to Zhou Airen and said, “Elder Zhou, I’ve already broken this situation.”
Zhou Airen took a few steps back.
Looking at Lu Tianyu, his mood suddenly surged.
Suddenly, he laughed out loud, very heroically.
“Little friend Lu, I, Zhou Airen, have made a friend in you!”
…
The mission was completed.
Elder Zhou took up his post once again.
Elder Zhou’s disciples were all over the world. The moment he returned, the world was shocked.
The number of forces supporting Mo Hanxing increased by a lot.
In the main hall.
Jin Mulan was reporting to Mo Hanxing.
“You said that a streak of light destroyed the people of the ten thousand demons and the Imperial Demon Dynasty?”
Mo Hanxing’s eyes flickered.
Jin Mulan nodded and said, “That streak of light was too terrifying and too fast. It killed the ten thousand demons in just a few breaths. Before I could react, it had already disappeared.”
Mo Hanxing nodded. When he thought of the Sword Qi that destroyed the Lingxiao Sword Sect, his heart sank.
“I wonder where that hermit expert is?”
Mo Hanxing was deep in thought.
“You’ve made a great contribution by inviting Elder Zhou back this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?” Mo Hanxing said.
Jin Mulan said, “Your Majesty, this is all thanks to Lu Tianyu. If he hadn’t broken the broken chess game, Elder Zhou wouldn’t have returned.”
Mo Hanxing said, “Of course I understand. However, Lu Tianyu’s identity can not be exposed now, so you have to take the credit.”
“You go back and tell Lu Tianyu that I will double the reward after the big event.”
Jin Mulan nodded and said, “Yes.”
Jim Mulan left.
Mo Hanxing summoned Han Gengnian.
“Go to investigate. What relation does King Kang have with Imperial Demon Dynasty…” Mo Han Xing instructed a voice.
Han Gengnian nodded and left.
…
The current situation of the Empire, Lu Tianyu did not care.
In the following few days, he signed in at various places in the military camp.
He signed in in front of the training ground and obtained the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art.
He signed in in front of the Flame Head Camp and obtained the Heavenly Flame, the Green Lotus Core Flame.
He signed up in front of the Weibo Lake and obtained the Dao Holy Water, the Innate Mystic Spirit Water.
All sorts of rewards entered his bag.
And Lu Tianyu’s strength also increased by a large margin.
Under the nourishment of all sorts of elixirs and medicines, Lu Tianyu’s body had already reached its peak in all aspects.
Therefore, it was also time to break through.
To break through from the Origin Core realm and enter the Qi Creation realm, which was one of the three realms of Creation, one needed to shatter a pill to establish one’s home.
This process might last a long time.
Therefore, Lu Tianyu found a rare place in the Imperial Capital.
There was a small mountain here. Lu Tianyu used his Sword Qi to carve a cave on the rockery and entered it.
Then, he began the process of breaking through.
This breakthrough took three days.
During these three days, many things happened in the empire.
The most important thing was that Mo Hanxing increased the exploitation of Mo Hailong.
In the Imperial Court, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Works, and the Minister of War were all removed.
Even the Grand Perceptor was removed from his post by Mo Hanxing.
Then, he promoted some of Zhou Airen’s favorite students to these positions.
This cuts of his measure of authority caused Mo Hailong’s facial expression to become sullen.
“Nephew, you can’t beat me,” Mo Hailong said coldly.
“Your Highness, the King of the Imperial Court is here.”
A servant came in.
Mo Hailong’s eyes lit up and he said, “Please!”
…
Three days, Lu Tianyu’s golden pill was broken and evolved into a cave.
“Golden cave, twelve stars.”
Lu Tianyu handsome face, surfacing a touch can not hide the joy.
When a warrior entered the three realms of Creation, he had to open up his cave abode.
But a warrior generally could only open a cave, and the cave color was colorless.
Only a few geniuses could open two to seven cave abodes.
The color of the cave abodes also changed slightly.
And the golden cave abodes were the highest level cave abodes, and they were also the most powerful.
However, they only appeared in the ancient mythological book, the Mountain and Sea God Demon Scripture.
In reality, they had never appeared before.
As for the twelve cave abodes, they represented that his cave abodes had been completed.
It was like twelve golden stars surrounding his dantian, known as the twelve consecutive stars.
This way, his strength would have an earth-shaking increase.
However, in the future, if he wanted to increase his realm, it would be much slower than an ordinary Martial Artist.
After all, an ordinary Martial Artist only needed to cultivate one cave abode, while Lu Tianyu needed to cultivate twelve.
However, this was nothing.
Lu Tianyu stood up and walked out of the cave.
He looked at a strange rock in front of him.
He flicked his finger.
A stream of light shot out.
In a moment, this strange rock was turned into dust.
The corners of Lu Tianyu’s mouth curled up into a beautiful arc.
On the main street, it was extremely lively.
Although many people had come to the Imperial Capital over the past few days, many people had also left.
However, the market was not affected too much.
A man dressed in white, who looked like an immortal, was strolling leisurely in the middle of the street. It was Lu Tianyu.
Unknowingly, he walked to a gorgeous pavilion.
In the pavilion, birds were singing and dancing, and laughter could be heard.
And this pavilion was the most famous brothel in the capital, Li Chun Garden.
[Do you want to sign in in front of Li Chun Garden?]
At this moment, the system’s voice sounded.
Lu Tianyu said, ‘Sign in.’
[Check in successful. You have obtained the Max Level Skill: Unparalleled Calligraphy.]
All sorts of knowledge about calligraphy entered his mind.
From this, his attainments in calligraphy had reached its peak.
Lu Tianyu smiled lightly. Although he always thought that calligraphy was useless to him, it was still better to have more skills.
Then, he stood in front of the gate of Li Chun Garden and hesitated.
He thought, ‘Should I go in… and hook a lady to listen to a song?’
Just as he was hesitating, suddenly, he frowned.
He immediately looked up at a room on the second floor.
Because, just now, a wave of Demonic Qi appeared.
Although it disappeared in an instant, it was still caught by his sharp senses.
“There’s Demonic Qi here!” Lu Tianyu whispered, and his eyes flashed with ripples.
Then, he no longer hesitated and walked into the brothel.
On the second floor.
Lu Tianyu stood at the door of a room and said to the brothel madam, “I want this room.”
Hearing this, the brothel madam misunderstood and immediately smiled apologetically. “Young Master, this room is our Courtesan Su’s small room. I’m afraid it won’t be so easy for Young Master to enter.”
